The "brain gain" in American industry

By David Ong | May 1, 2007

To the Editor: In his letter to the editor, Andrew Eastman '07 asks, "Are there not 'intelligent, capable' workers born in the States?" ("Foreign nationals and American firms," April 25). He thinks there are enough skilled workers in the U.S.

Looking Into Their Eyes

By Nathan Bruschi | May 1, 2007

After it became clear that the massacre in Blacksburg, Va., would take its place in severity alongside the worst shootings in American history, the question that increasingly weighed on my mind was what the shooter looked like.

A Better Left

By Jacob Baron | April 30, 2007

It has been said that liberals are very broadminded. They are always willing to give careful consideration to all sides of the same side. In the wake of the ongoing discussion on campus activism in these pages, I cannot help but see some truth in that statement.

Updating the Second Amendment

By Zachary Hyatt | April 27, 2007

Albert Camus once wrote a short story, and then an expanded play, entitled "The Misunderstanding." In this story -- the plots of the play and short story are identical -- a boy becomes estranged from his mother and sister in a rural town somewhere.

Sun: The New Beer

By Zachary Gottlieb | April 26, 2007

Something new showed up on our campus last week, other than prospies "for the plundering" (as I overheard it at Palaeopitus). No, it wasn't the supple skin and innocent giggles of prospective '11's that excited my gentlemanly interest, but the short skirt of an even more elusive mistress: our distant neighbor, the sun. Yes, it was a blast to stand in front of the room before my classes and tell the prospies that I was the professor, and shout at them for not having the registrar's permission to be in my class, and that no, their tears wouldn't melt my adamantine professorial heart.

Confessions of an Upperclass UGA

By David Glovsky | April 26, 2007

After reading Daniel Belkin's column, "Do Upperclassmen Need UGAs?" (April 25), I must only come to the conclusion that his anonymous Undergraduate Advisor, "Pat," is not a particularly successful or happy UGA.

Foreign nationals and American firms

By Andrew Eastman | April 25, 2007

I read Chris Chan '07's op-ed ("Lady Liberty's Lottery," April 24) and was generally sympathetic until one paragraph: "The United States may be protecting its workers from international competition but it is also crippling its own economy by keeping intelligent, capable workers out... and placing a cap on the value that its firms can produce." This implies that there aren't enough native-born Americans to fill these "intelligent" positions; are there not "intelligent, capable" workers born in the States?

Do Upperclassmen Need UGAs?

By Daniel Belkin | April 25, 2007

It's not that I haven't liked my Undergraduate Advisors during my sophomore and junior years. Without a doubt, I enjoy the sugary surprises my UGA randomly leaves at the foot of my door.

By Claire Murray | April 25, 2007

New Hampshire State Rep. Catherine Mulholland doesn't want you to eat Snickers bars anymore. A few weeks ago, Mulholland, D-Grafton, sponsored a new bill to establish a tax on candy that was, fortunately for us, stalled in the New Hampshire state legislature.

Lessons from Durham

By Frank Gado | April 20, 2007

To the Editor: Bravo, Michael Kreicher '08, for your reminder of the importance of the presumption of innocence ("By Clear and Convincing Evidence," April 17). I have just finished writing a letter to the Duke board of trustees chairman, in which I refused to accept his exculpation of the university for its injustice to the charged lacrosse players.

Lessons from Blacksburg

By Richard Crocker | April 20, 2007

To the Editor: We mourn the deaths of students and faculty at Virginia Tech ("Virginia Tech gunman kills 32 in bloodbath," April 17). It is appropriate and natural that we should do so.
